Lets say Northwestern runs the board except a loss to OSU, I use them as an example because right now they are 3-0. That could keep them out of title contention because of a loss to a non qualifying team. It just so happens that we have two spoilers in our division this year. Because of that I don’t see a Big 10 team in the running this year.

I think that Nebraska will ultimately leave Indianapolis with the conference championship so therefore I guess that the Cornhuskers have the best shot. If Ohio State were eligible for postseason play, they might have the best shot. However, there is going to be too much parity in the conference this season for a Big Ten team to make it to Miami. The Big Ten has a bunch of good teams that will likely beat up on each other and not a great team.

Defenes is way more important than offense, that’s why MSU is favored over Michigan. We’ve all seen how MSU has stopped Denard 2 years running, it will be 3 on Oct 20th,

Somehow when MSU lost a good starting QB with 2 key WRs and a running back who was really work horse for MSU, no one is saying MSU will lose a step. Yet take in Michigan’s loss of 3 DL and everyone is saying how Michigan will take a step back. I’m not buying it. Maxwell is unproven on the field. Practicing and playing a game are 2 different animals. I just don’t see MSU doing it this year and believe their shot was last year with the Baker and Bell duo. If Michigan stays healthy and Denard limits his turnovers, Michigan should be the favorite. After all, look who they have to prepare for in Week 1. All that preparation during fall and the summer should pay off and they have a huge upside in Year 2 under Hoke, Borges and Mattison.
